1. A/V Connection
Depending on the A/V equipment you own, there are various ways you
can connect the DP-Lite. To choose the best connection option, please
refer to the manual of equipment you would like to connect to.
To get High Definition playback of High Definition content, we
recommend you connect your high definition display with a HDMI cable.
HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high-definition video and multi-
channel audio in a single cable (HDMI cable can be purchased
separately).
If your TV set does not support HDMI but has a DVI input, a HDMI to
DVI converter can be purchased separately (in this case, audio signal
output through the HDMI interface is disabled). If you do not have a
high definition display, you can connect the DP-Lite and A/V equipment
via other connection options.
NOTE
High Definition playback is only possible through HDMI or
components connections.

NOTE
The DP-Lite’s two tuners are connected internally, so only one antenna
cable is required.
How to Connect
14
3. Ethernet Connection
3-1. Wired Connection Using a Network Router (LAN)
In order to fully utilize the DP-Lite, it is strongly recommended that you
connect the DP-Lite to your home network via a network router.
For this connection, the following equipment is required;
A router either with a built-in network switch or an external switch.
An Ethernet cable (provided).
As shown in the picture, connect the DP-Lite to the router with Ethernet
cable included in the box. If you purchase a router with a DP-Lite and
have no experience of connecting a router with a PC, please refer to
user’s manual of the router and connect the DP-Lite to the router in the
same manner as an additional PC. If the router has the DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server feature and it is enabled,
all the configurations for networking will be set automatically and the
DP-Lite is ready to use. For more information on configuring LAN,
please refer to Chapter 4 “Quick Setup”
How to Connect
15
3-2. Direct Connection to a PC
With this configuration, you can share contents with a PC but the DP-
Lite cannot access the internet. For this connection, the following
equipment is required;
A PC with an Ethernet connection (Network Interface Card)
An Ethernet crossover cable.
If your PC has the DHCP server feature and it is enabled, all the
configurations for networking will be set automatically and the DP-Lite
is ready to communicate with your PC. If your PC does not have the
DHCP server feature, you must disable the DHCP feature and set IP
(Internet Protocol) information manually for the DP-Lite and PC. For
more information on manually configuring DHCP, please refer to Chapter
4 “Quick Setup”.

How to Connect
16
3-3. Direct Connection to Internet
With this configuration, you cannot share contents with a PC through
your home network. For this configuration, you will need to connect
the DP-Lite to your ADSL Modem or Cable Modem with an Ethernet
crossover cable (not included in the box). Most ISPs (Internet Service
Provider) support DHCP. Therefore, you can connect your DP-Lite
directly to your gateway with a crossed cable. If your ISP does not
support DHCP you will need to manually configure your DP-Lite, please
contact your ISP for more information.

3. PVR Functions
The major functions of a PVR are time-shifting and recording. This
allows you to pause or rewind live TV, and even to go back and make a
recording of events that have already happened. To perform these
functions, the DP-Lite utilises the internal hard disk drive (HDD).
3-1. Time-shifting
The DP-Lite retains all received broadcast data from the current service
up to a maximum of 2 hours on the internal HDD. This time-shift
buffer allows you to;
(i) pause a live TV program and resume watching it later, and
(ii) rewind a live TV program and replay it.
The following functions can be used with the time-shift buffer, in the
same manner as if you were watching a recorded file;
Trick mode: allows fast-forward, rewind, pause, skip and jump.
Bookmark: allows returning to a chosen position easily.
A-B Repeat: allows playing a chosen section repeatedly.
For detailed information about these functions, see the “Movie Playback”
section in Chapter 6.
NOTE
The time-shift buffer will be deleted if you change to another service
or enter the File Play, Setup or WizTV modes.
If two services are being recorded simultaneously and you are
watching a third service, the time-shift function for the third service
will be disabled automatically.
Trick-mode operations are not available if there is less than 10
seconds of data in the time-shift buffer.
When your current position in the time-shift buffer is less than 10
seconds from the live broadcast position, you will be automatically
jumped to the live broadcast position.
The time-shift function can be disabled in the Setup menu (see
“Time-shifting” section in Chapter 9).

If there is only one program in the time-shift buffer, the options
“Current Program” and “All” have the same meaning, therefore the
“Current Program” option will not appear.
If the time-shift function has been disabled in the Setup menu (see
“Time-shifting” section in Chapter 9), you cannot record a program
from the time-shift buffer. In this case, the only starting position you
can choose is “Live”, therefore the “Current Program” and “All”
options will not appear.
The asterisk(*) mark on the file name indicates that the DP-Lite has
assigned the program name automatically. If you change the
program name by using the on-screen keyboard, the asterisk(*) mark
will be automatically removed.
You can record a radio program using the same procedure.
If two recordings are already in progress, you cannot record another
program. In this case, a warning message will be displayed. You
must stop one of these recordings in order to record the current
program (see “Pause/Resume and Stop Recording” section later in
this chapter).

5) Power Off during Recording
If you attempt to put the DP-Lite into standby mode while a recording is
in progress, a “Power Off” dialog will be displayed, as shown below.
You can then choose from the following options;
Later: the DP-Lite will return to standby mode when the current
recording(s) have completed.
Yes: the current recording(s) are stopped and the DP-Lite goes into
standby mode immediately.
No: the standby mode procedure is cancelled and the DP-Lite remains
on.
Use the LEFT/RIGHT buttons to select your desired option and press
OK.
If a timer starts while the DP-Lite is in standby mode, the DP-Lite will
turn on automatically and perform its operation until the timer has
completed. If remote control activity is detected during this period, the
DP-Lite will remain on so you can continue to use it without interruption,
otherwise it will return to standby mode.
NOTE
If AC power is not supplied to the DP-Lite properly (e.g. a power
blackout), it cannot perform a timer recording. If a timer fails due to
this reason, this timer remains in the timer list as notification.
If AC power is restored within a timer’s duration, the timer will
become active immediately and recording will begin.
If AC power is not supplied for a long period i.e. several hours, the
internal clock of the DP-Lite will lose it’s time setting, and all timers
will fail until the time setting is restored (see “Time Setting” section in
Chapter 4).
If you do not respond to the “Power Off” pop-up dialog, the DP-Lite
will behave as if you selected “Later”, and return to standby mode
when the recording is finished
STB & PVR Function

Conflict” section next in this chapter).
STB & PVR Function
56
3-6. Timer Conflict
The DP-Lite can record two programs simultaneously. If you attempt to
record more than two programs simultaneously, a timer conflict warning
message will be displayed. A timer conflict occurs in the following
situations;
A new timer overlaps with two existing timers at some point.
A timer begins while two recordings are already in progress.
A timer begins while a recording is already in progress on the same
service.
NOTE
When you set a new timer, the DP-Lite will only check for conflicts
with existing timers. It will not check if the new timer conflicts with
recordings started by the instant recording method, and will only do
this check when the timer is ready to begin.
1) New Timer Overlaps Two Existing Timers
You cannot add a new timer to record three programs at the same time.
If you attempt to do so, a timer conflict dialog is displayed to show the
conflicting timers, as shown below.

2) Timer Overlaps Two Current Recordings
If a new timer begins while two recordings are already in progress, the
following timer conflict dialog will be displayed:
In order to allow the timer to begin, you must stop one of the current
recordings. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to select a recording and
press OK to stop that recording. If you don’t wish to stop either of the
current recordings, press EXIT to cancel the pending timer.
NOTE
The new timer is given a higher priority than the existing recordings.
Therefore, if you are unable to respond to the timer conflict dialog
within 1 minute, the current recording which is scheduled to finish
sooner will be stopped to allow the new timer to begin.
3) Timer Overlaps Current Recording on Same Service
If a timer overlaps a current recording on the same service, the
following timer conflict dialog will be displayed:
In order to allow the timer to begin, you must stop the current
recording by pressing the OK button. If you don’t wish to stop the
current recording, press EXIT to cancel the pending timer.
NOTE
The new timer is given a higher priority than the existing recording.
Therefore, if you are unable to respond to the timer conflict dialog
within 1 minute, the current recording will be stopped to allow the
timer to begin
